Guest ZeroXcape Posted July 24, 2001 Posted July 24, 2001 Just got back from my mini-vacation to find my mail box stuffed with over 650 e-mails. Sure enough, several people sending me the virus I've seen on either these forums or another LucasGames forum. Check out the following information for quick info: <a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=9637">Ain't It Cool Info</a> <a href="http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,45476.00.html">Wired Info</a> ------------------ ZeroXcape EMI.com Webmaster zeroxcape@escapemi.com
brief Posted July 24, 2001 Posted July 24, 2001 I've been getting a lot of those. Really bogging down my e-mails, until I took steps to prevent downloads of such messages from happening. I would suggest for everyone to go to http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@mm.removal.tool.html to make sure they don't have this worm on their system. Especially if you're using Outlook Express for e-mails. ------------------ Virus Warning: Windows 98 detected. Format Hard Drive? (Y/Y)
Faith Posted July 25, 2001 Posted July 25, 2001 Cheers, It is a b,oody weird virus, i'll tell u now! It fdeletes files, or crashes all your programs, or deletes your harddrive, depending what mood it is in ------------------ Faith
Guest ZeroXcape Posted July 25, 2001 Posted July 25, 2001 Indeed - October 16th, it will recursively delete an entire harddrive. I'm getting like 50 emails an hour now :\ ------------------ ZeroXcape EMI.com Webmaster zeroxcape@escapemi.com
LegallyRetarded Posted July 25, 2001 Posted July 25, 2001 my friend got the virus, and i'll tell you that was hard to get off. We had to re-install her computer like 8 times... ugh. ------------------ The Original FrenchyD
Rufio Posted July 25, 2001 Posted July 25, 2001 some wanker sent that to me, HAH like i would open a file named _____.doc.slx lamer! good ol norton AV deleted the mail for me after i scanned it, so my computer is safe. ------------------
Thrik Posted July 25, 2001 Posted July 25, 2001 You'll get emails from people you know, which will grab a random file from their c:\my documents\ and mail it out to everyone on their contact list (infected, of course) -- with the subject being the name of the attachment. So maybe not all people are l4m0rz NFGB. ------------------
Guest ZeroXcape Posted July 25, 2001 Posted July 25, 2001 Here's a pretty detailed guide on how to get rid of it: <a href="http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-6660198.html?tag=owv">C|NET SIRCAM INFO</a> ------------------ ZeroXcape EMI.com Webmaster zeroxcape@escapemi.com
brief Posted July 25, 2001 Posted July 25, 2001 Bah. You just have to shift through there to find the same link that I provided for removal of the virus.. ------------------ "...and the Number One Oxymoron: Microsoft Works."

Guest murta Posted July 25, 2001 Posted July 25, 2001 Download this, it checks if you have the virus and removes it if you do: http://homepages.uel.ac.uk/M.N.Lansley/stuff/clrav.zip
